Beautifully presented family home with great entertaining space set in circa 8 acres with enclosed tennis court, swimming pool and one bedroom holiday annexe.

Cranbrook School catchment area.

Little Saltwood Farm is ideally located on the periphery of Cranbrook yet within easy reach of all the amenities that Cranbrook has to offer. The property dates from the early 1900s and exhibits good proportions that would be expected of a home from this era.

The house is accessed through a traditional five bar gate to arrive at a gravel driveway adjacent to the house that offers parking for a number of vehicles. Beautifully kept gardens wrap around the property, traditionally planted with seasonal flowers, mature shrubs and trees, climbing roses, screening hedging to the front border and an expanse of lawn for which games of five aside football would not be out of place. This is all abutted by acres of wild meadow, a small orchard of apple trees and a patch of woodland.

Accompanying the property is an enclosed tennis court, swimming pool and a self-contained one bedroom holiday annexe that generates a good annual supplemental income.

Little Saltwood Farm’s accommodation is set across two floors. It has been extended by the current custodians including an orangery style addition that is flooded with an abundance of natural light and providing a fantastic kitchen/dining/breakfast room; an ideal entertaining space with bi-fold doors opening onto a rear paved covered terrace in which to enjoy al-fresco dining and entertaining. In addition to this space is a drawing room, sitting room, home office/study, utility room and cloakroom, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, family bathroom and family shower room.
